What is it?
The Audi A7 Sportback has undergone an update in line with Audi’s new styling for 2024. The luxurious model sports a new look and new technology, bringing with it a host of innovations which aim to bring a blend of both sporty and comfortable driving characteristics.
If you’re after a big, luxurious car that is capable of conquering big-mileage journeys, then Audi has always been a go-to brand. More recently, it is this car - the A7 - which has been reintroduced to deliver that all-encompassing experience, bringing with it a host of innovations which aim to bring a blend of both sporty and comfortable driving characteristics.
What’s new?
The A7 offers a slightly different take on the traditional executive design. The popular A6 has a more recognisable design, whereas the A7 takes a far more coupe-inspired appearance but with an opulent, spacious interior. For 2024, the Audi A7 has newly design trim levels, a brand-new front honeycomb grille and rear design and upgraded standard equipment. Audi’s standard alloys have also been overhauled for the new version and bold exterior colours and interior features have also been added to the lineup.
Electrification has also formed a core part of the A7 range, too, with a petrol plug-in hybrid version being included in the range. This helps to make the A7 more efficient while boosting the number of miles you’ll get from a full tank.
What’s under the bonnet?
Outside of performance ‘S’ and ‘RS’ models, there are three engines to choose from with the A7. There’s are two litre diesel engine with an output of 204 PS which is paired with the smooth S tronic, automatic gearbox and Audi’s famous quattro four-wheel drive. This engine variant delivers a 0-62 mph time of seven seconds and a top speed of 155 mph.
There’s also a two litre petrol option which brings 265 PS and 370 Nm of torque, enabling a 0-62 mph time of 6.2 seconds and a top speed of 155mph. It’s more than enough performance for most occasions and Audi claims that you should get up to 34.0 mpg as well.
The Audi A7 TFSI e variant combines the petrol engine with a 17.9 kWh battery. This plug-in option offers up to 41 miles of pure electric range.
